They weren’t gentle with him as they threw him into the cell.

In fact, they were quite the opposite. Though, Draco supposed, they did have every right to treat him like that. He was practically the devil incarnate.

That’s what they called him. Lucifer, the Dark Lord’s right hand. Satan. Beelzebub. Any and all names that portrayed how horrible Draco was; he was the owner of death, the presider over execution and prisoners.

Azkaban didn’t scare him. Not really. In Draco’s eyes, it was a vacation. A place to get away from the War that was raging.

Harry Potter was dead, but it seemed the Wizarding World was not done fighting yet. There was rebellion floating around, and your name was connected to all of it. Threaded through the whispers and gossip and warnings and threats. You had taken the reins, determined to take down the Dark Lord once and for all.

Draco leaned back and closed his eyes, savoring the feeling of no blood coating his hands. A hiatus, a pause, an excuse to get away from his duties. He had been captured, taken off the board, and that was all the ‘good guys’ believed they needed to win.

And they were right. The Lord had grown weak, never recovering from the Horcruxes that had been destroyed, and the rebellion was focused on finding the rest. Harry Potter had left them a mission, a task.

Task, task, task. It had been three years since the Battle of Hogwarts, and Draco still hated that word. He had taken his new tasks in stride, risen to the highest he could. He wanted a seat amongst the greats when the Dark Lord won, a place he could live happily.

But that didn’t seem too likely—not anymore. Not when they had put him into Azkaban, and the best executioner the Dark Lord had was now locked away. Draco still didn’t mind. He could use a break from bloodshed.

Capturing Draco Malfoy had been difficult—just finding his records had been a feat in itself. But you wanted to take him down, especially after what he had done to you.

_I never loved you. Are you so daft as to think that I could be interested in you?_

He had broken your heart. You had trusted him, and he had lied to you the whole time. And then, he fully joined Voldemort, and he killed your friends. That was unforgivable.

_You are a quick and convenient fuck, that’s all._

The minute you had the opportunity to take him down, you did. Hermione and Ron had told you to relax, to focus on other things. But Draco was the key—you knew the Dark Lord’s entire infrastructure would collapse without him.

There had been enough battles to prove that fact alone.

He was ruthless, merciless. Worthy of his namesake. Draco Malfoy was as essential to the Dark Lord’s success as he was to the Dark Lord’s downfall.

You had planned it out meticulously. A small group of you had set a Horcrux out as bait, and the Dark Lord took it, bringing Draco with him. The impulse to send the Killing Curse at Voldemort right where he stood was great, but the logic took over, along with a taste of satisfaction at hurting Draco.

You didn’t miss how quickly he had drawn his wand when the Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder—courtesy of George and a thirst for revenge in Fred’s name—set in. Draco shot the curses without blinking an eye, hitting Seamus and Dean square in the chests, and you barely pulled Hermione out of the way from the red curse going straight towards the two of you.

It took back-up and what felt like an hour of dueling, but you managed to have the element of surprise on your side, and you Apparated right in front of him, tackling Draco to the ground. He had his wand ready to shoot whatever Unforgivable at you, but when he saw your face, he paused. Just for half a second.

But that half a second was all you needed to disarm him. It was half a second of vulnerability, of confusion, of shock. And it was his undoing.

You incapacitated him without thinking, making sure those invisible ropes tightened harder than necessary, giving him that inch of pain. He deserved it. And even if the Dark Lord had managed his escape, you still had Draco Malfoy.

And that was all you needed.

Azkaban had been rebuilt for the use of the rebellion, allowing space to live and to store captured Death Eaters and other enemies. You had picked out a cell for Draco months before you even brought the plan up. You needed this modicum of payback.

And to make things sweeter, you abandoned him to two guards who had lost family members at his hand. Two guards who also wanted to inflict as much pain as possible on Draco.

Then, you left him. Psychological torture was something he was known for—turning one’s mind against themselves, their own personal hell. And he was the ruler. You left him to be trapped in his own head, counting on the isolation to drive him insane.

Food was brought irregularly, sometimes not at all, and all he was provided was a metal bed frame and a thin mattress, as well a waste bucket and sink. It was more than you would usually give, but you wanted him to be confused. To be suffering, but to be somewhat comfortable.

Two weeks of no human contact. You would have left him longer if you hadn’t needed the information. And you made sure you were the only one to speak with him.

“Malfoy,” you greeted as you entered the cell, not bothering with blocking the sudden bright light flooding through the thick metal door.

Draco sat up, and he looked...better than you expected. Sure, he was pale and skinnier than when you had known him before, but he had developed lean muscle since. He cocked his head, considering. “Y/L/N,” he responded, a smirk quirking his lips.

Insufferable as always.

You clenched your jaw as you inspected his cell. He had the all-black clothing he had worn as a uniform still on, but it looked clean. And your eyes moved to the sink as you realized that he had washed his clothes regularly. “Enjoying your stay?”

“Yes, I am. It’s quite nice here, very...relaxing.” He hummed lightly, watching as you trailed around the room.

“I’m glad you think so,” you replied, falling back to him. Draco’s hair was longer than the last time you had seen it, mussed and loose from his hands running through it. His face was more angular, harder, but still held the good-looks he had been prized over. “Do you know why you’re here?”

“I came to my own conclusions. Did you miss me?” he teased.

You turned to glare at him. “Absolutely not.”

“ _Liar, liar, pants on fire_ ,” he singsonged. His back was leaning against the wall, sitting on the floor, legs outstretched in front of him. Utterly at ease.

You tasted blood as you bit down on your tongue. You didn’t have the energy for this, you were too stressed. His smile was tangible in the air as you spun and walked from the cell, letting the door shut resoundingly behind you.

Okay, maybe you had missed him a bit. But only the smallest, most molecular, infinitesimal bit.

You never do get over your first love, do you?

But you didn’t forgive him. Not for the way he treated you, the way he broke things off. You were being used, he wanted you to be just another weapon in his arsenal. And you wouldn’t take that.

And you also wouldn’t take him acting like such a prick. You didn’t have to be bothered by him. Today, Draco Malfoy was below you, and you were not so weak as to be affected by his taunts.

You had gone through much worse already.

So, the next time you stepped into his cell, you made sure your face was set. You had a purpose and a goal, and he would not distract you from it. He was seated the same as two days ago, nonchalant but amused. You began pacing in front of him, determination radiating.

“I’m here for information,” you started, staring at him hard.

“And to think, I thought you were here to catch up like old friends,” he replied smartly. He was smiling again, unbothered by his current state.

You ignored it. “Where is Voldemort’s base located. We know he’s not at Malfoy Manor anymore, so where did he go?”

“Not afraid of the taboo?”

“Why would I be? I’d be happy to face him in battle.” You didn’t know why you were humoring him.

Draco considered you. “Do you think you’d win?”

“Do you?”

He smiled again, and you saw his tongue trace along the edges of his teeth. “Not for me to say.” But you could read the answer in his words.

_Yes, you could. Easily._

“Answer my question,” you ordered, remembering yourself. Distractions, distractions. “Where are the Death Eaters based?”

“Can’t tell you. I’ll die before I could even get the words out.” He pulled on a loose thread from his sleeve.

You took a step forward. “By force or by choice?”

“Not for me to say,” repeated Draco.

You wanted to strangle him. He could be so unhelpful, so stubborn when he wanted to, and the chances of getting information out of him were slim. So, you tried a different tactic. A different set of questions. “Why are you so calm here?”

A bit of surprise entered his eyes, making them glint in sudden entertainment. “So you did miss me?”

You bristled, “Of course not. I didn’t forget the things you told me, the lies you had fed me. I could never miss you.” False.

Draco frowned, genuinely sad, before brightening again. “That’s tragic. I missed you, did you know that?”

“Don’t do this. You never answer a question directly and I hate it.”

“But you don’t hate me.”

Your hands craved to wring his neck. “You’re wrong. I do hate you. You’re evil and wretched and terrible and a killer and—worst of all—a liar. You know I hate liars.” False.

Draco returned to his thread, pulling it out, then wrapping it carefully around his left ring finger. “This would have been you”—he flashed the makeshift ring—“did you know that?”

Your chest tightened. “Stop asking me what I know. I’m supposed to be asking the questions, not you. Why are you so happy to be locked up?”

Again, his lips turned down, unwrapping the string. “Think of it as an extended holiday. No work, no murders. I never liked to get my hands dirty, but you knew that already.”

You did. You knew a lot of things about Draco, including how serious he was about hygiene, about that last shred of purity. “Why did you do it, then? Why would you become who you are now if you don’t like killing?”

Sincerity lined his face for a moment. “Because I had been cast down. The Ministry never forgave us for my father’s crimes. I had no one else, nothing else. Until you, of course.”

“Don’t lie. We never would have worked, even if we had tried.”

“That’s up for debate. I quite liked you—loved, even.”

“Funny way of showing it,” you muttered, then shook your head. “Shouldn’t you be the least bit concerned that you’re in the hands of the enemy? Why doesn’t that bother you?” There must be something else at play, like he planned this all. Perhaps he wanted to take you down from the inside.

Draco stood as well, and you tensed, but he only held his hands up in surrender. You nodded, and then he began pacing, needing something to do with his body. “Do you know how dreadful the Dark Lord is to be around? And that bloody snake? Merlin, it’s like talking to an angsty teenager—always going on and on about killing and winning, nothing actually interesting. I’m just so _bored_ there.”

You stifled a laugh, then caught yourself, straightening. “Well, no one ever said war was fun.” You realized how interesting the picture of you two must’ve been, two integral parts of opposite sides, conversating on how dull battle was.

“It could be fun. This is even worse than that one Muggle book you made me read. What was it called? War...War and….”

“War and Peace,” you provided, smiling a bit at the memory. He had _hated_ that book. In all fairness, you did, too, but Draco held a special abhorrence for all things lame and slow-moving.

“Ah, that was it.” His face sobered, finally remembering himself. He turned back into the cold executioner. Lucifer. “There’s nothing you can do to me that will make me give you information. I was trained in secrecy.”

“Don’t be dramatic, Draco- What? Why are you smiling?”

Indeed, a grin tilted his lips. “You said my name. You haven’t said my name in over three years. Say it again.”

You narrowed your eyes. “What the fuck? I can’t do this with you, _Malfoy_. I’ll send someone else in to deal with you.”

“Don’t do that. I like talking to you, it’s refreshing. Death Eaters are so bleak.” He lifted his sleeve and flashed his Mark. “It’s like the Mark condemns to them to eternal rancor. This is the most interesting conversation I’ve had in years.”

“Do you forget that you’re one of those rancorous Death Eaters? One of the worst, in fact.”

“I’m different.”

“That’s a word for it.”

Draco took a few steps toward you, and you drew your wand immediately. His hands didn’t go up this time, however, and he only kept moving until the wand was pressed dangerously into his chest. Even then, he leaned his head closer, so he was only a few inches from your ear. “I missed you,” he whispered.

The spell took no thought at all, and it sent him flying into the far wall, his head hitting it with a crack so loud that you were almost concerned. You peered at him, and his eyelids lifted slowly, one hand reaching to the back of his head, fingers coming back bloodsoaked.

“Really? Fuck, that hurt. I swear, I compliment you and this is what I get? How do you expect to get any information out of me if you give me fucking amnesia?” He reached his hand back again, and more blood dripped down it as he brought it back in front of him.

“ _Shit_ ,” you mumbled, dropping forward quickly. You moved to inspect his head, but his hand shot out and wrapped around your wrist as you moved. His eyes were instantly murderous, and the grip on your wrist bordered on painful—he was like a hurt animal, and you knew that his bite was definitely much harsher than his bark. “Let me see it, Malfoy, or maybe you won’t live long enough to decline me more answers.”

He gritted his teeth, but bent forward, giving you a view of above the back of his head, his eyes trained straight on the ground. “Don’t you have Healers for this? I distinctly remember your knowledge of Healing to be abysmal.”

“Shut up,” you said, focused on the wound. There was a large bump swelling, but the cut itself likely came from the rough material of the wall, staining his hair with scarlet. You poked at it, and he hissed, his body ready to defend. “I think it’s a concussion.”

“No shit.”

Your eyes trailed down his neck, noticing the scars that started at the base, and moved down under his shirt. He pulled back before you could get a closer look, and you stood immediately, moving towards the door.

“I’ll send Healers in to look at it. Try not to kill them,” you said as you started walking out.

“No promises,” he retorted, wiping the blood on his pants. The exasperation made you smile, but then you cursed yourself.

Draco Malfoy was not supposed to be making you smile.

Hermione had badgered you all afternoon about Draco. She wanted more information, and you seemed to be the only one he was not outright hostile against. Even if you hadn’t gotten the details you wanted in your first two visits, at least you hadn’t been knocked unconscious and had your wand stolen.

That was a headache and a half.

So, two more weeks passed and you went back. He was waiting for you this time, an expectant and satisfied look on his face.

“Finally,” he muttered the second you entered the cell, shutting the door behind you.

“Let me guess,” you sighed, “you missed me?”

“Exactly.”

You began pacing, and Draco’s eyes followed your figure the whole time. His head had been healed quickly, and they ensured that there was no residual damage. “Are you ready to talk?” you asked.

“What’s in it for me?” It was a response you didn’t expect. Because what _was_ in it for him?

You stopped, pressing your lips together. Draco was not dumb, and he meant it when he asked the question. You supposed it was only fair that he got something out of it, even if he was a heartless murderer. “What do you want?”

He cocked his head. “No fight?”

“Beggars can’t be choosers, can they?”

He grinned, each perfectly white tooth on display. “So you understand now.” It wasn’t a question.

Because you did understand. Perhaps you had the whole time. He didn’t have to be here, this was just a game for him. A temporary reprieve from all the boredom. If he really wanted to, Draco could leave in an instant; he would probably kill every member of the rebellion just for the hell of it.

“Yes. What do you want?” you repeated the question.

He stopped, thinking. His finger tapped a contemplating staccato on his chin, twisting and turning, opening and closing his eyes. And then: “Freedom.”

It surprised you. “You are free. Voldemort is in control, you could do anything you wanted without consequence. Why would you ask us for freedom?”

Draco shook his head. “You don’t get it. I’m not free, not until I can leave the Wizarding World. I am a servant to the Dark Lord at the end of the day, and I hate my job. I want to stay connected, keep my magic, but I don’t want to be trapped down. _Especially_ not to Malfoy Manor.”

“And you think we can give that to you?”

He laughed this time. “You lot are going to win so long as I make it so. And if you could promise me that I won’t be killed or locked up for the rest of my life, I couldn’t give a single shit about what you do.”

“Why didn’t you tell the other members this when they talked to you?”

“You know that what I said to you was a lie, right? Back in 6th year?” The memory was so long ago, but still felt fresh in your mind. As fresh as the heartbreak.

You shook your head. “I can talk to the others, but you can’t expect them to be so forthcoming.”

“You were.”

“I’m different.”

He smiled.

You were tired, bone-deep exhausted. The Death Eaters had tried to break him out of Azkaban. It was a failed attempt, but draining all the same.

The only thing left was to make sure he was still locked up, ensuring there hadn’t been some hidden plan that they had concealed. Though you did feel as though you’d know if Draco Malfoy was missing.

And just as you predicted, he was sitting on the floor when you entered the cell, playing with his thumbs. He looked up, raising an eyebrow.

“Rough night?” he asked, and you rolled your eyes, sliding down on the wall opposite.

There was blood matting your hair, cuts covering your body, but you couldn’t care less. “Yes. Very rough. And I have your buddies to thank.”

“My buddies?” he questioned, observing you curiously.

“Death Eaters,” you answered. “They tried to help you escape.”

“How successful?”

“Not at all.”

“How many lost?”

“Terry Boot only. Poor kid.”

“I meant of them.”

You looked up. He looked almost somber, yet hopeful. Like he wanted to hear that his own side had lost members. “Two. The Carrows. Nasty spell sent Alecto into the water, and Ginny Avada’d Amycus.”

He stayed silent. Draco also looked tired, almost shifty. You couldn’t tell if he was disappointed by the failure or not. His hair had grown over the month and a half he’d been in Azkaban. You had given him access to a proper shower once a week, and he seemed to be doing better for it.

“How’s your head feeling?” You knew you shouldn’t nice to him, but you were also too tired. Recently, memories of your time together had come back in an onslaught. You had loved him. So much. And the months you had spent together had been more enjoyable than you’d like to admit.

“Fine,” he murmured, digging the dirt from under his nails. Those had also grown a bit, accentuating the long, pianist fingers he had. Slim and so aristocratic. They weren’t designed to destroy, but to create.

He reminded you a bit of a fallen angel.

After a few minutes, he continued, “How are you? Injured at all?”

“Some scrapes and an unknown hex, but I seem to be fine. It looks worse than it is.” You really did look like shit.

“You should get that hex checked out. We developed some bad ones, some that will kill you from the inside out. Run a couple of diagnostic spells, at the very least.”

“I didn’t know you cared,” you teased.

He looked at you sharply. Something had been altered within Draco, and you didn’t think it was the not-so-solitary confinement. He seemed to be changing, uncertain. “Go now, I want to sleep.”

He didn’t even try to sound convincing.

But nonetheless, you stood, groaning a bit. You were much more dizzy than you had anticipated, and would’ve fallen if Draco wasn’t at your side in an instant. His hands caught you from wavering, and your wand clattered to the ground with all the movement.

Both of you froze.

 _Grab it_ , your mind screamed, but you were stuck in place. Draco met your eyes, and he realized the unquestioned power he had. That was his opportunity to escape without fighting. You watched his thoughts process, trying to predict his next move.

He bent down slowly, one hand still braced on your back to make sure you didn’t fall, and he picked up the wand. For a moment, he rolled it in his hands, memorizing the curves and ridges of it. Then, he closed around the handle.

“ _Lumos_ ,” he whispered, and all the shadows in the cell evaporated from the sudden light. He let off a few sparks, testing the power. He contemplated his potential actions, and to your surprise, placed the handle in your palm, manually curving your fingers to wrap around it.

“Thank you.” You weren’t talking about just the wand.

Draco nodded and worked his jaw. You saw him understand the enormity of his actions, and he stepped back, going to his bed. “Go see the Healer.”

You nodded back, slipping out of the room and into the corridor, intent set on getting to the makeshift hospital wing in the prison. And through it all, you never turned out the light.

They say that there is always a calm before the storm. And today, you felt it.

That final battle that happens in every book and story and poem was coming tomorrow. There was a relaxed state around the members of the rebellion. A static forming in the stagnant. Energy pulsing from the patience.

Draco had been in Azkaban for months now. Maybe three, if your count was correct. You saw him most days, and his mood was ever-changing. Sometimes he was nice but sometimes he was mean and never was he truthful. There was always some type of lie flowing from his mouth.

But you could’ve sworn that he cared about you.

You understood that he had not meant his words that split you up. Understood that that was circumstance playing his cards for him. And that he hated his life. Immensely.

You granted him some level of immunity. A maximum of two years in Azkaban, five under house arrest, but nothing more. He was free to leave and never come back.

But you had to see him one more time. Before the battle, before you ended the war, before the future became much less clouded. This was a defining point.

You opened and closed the cell door quickly, quietly. You spun, not noticing anything out of the ordinary until you noticed _him_.

Draco was curled up, fast asleep. His regular clothes were gone, and even you had to admit that it was rather stuffy tonight. His shirt was off, exposing his pale skin to the dim light coming from the magic orb. It made your stomach roll.

You had seen Draco’s scars before. The ones when the two of you were 16 and fumbling with belts and laces and clothes and asking _does this feel right?_ You had memorized his body with your fingertips and mouth and tongue, had learned every inch of it. He had scars then, but they were nothing compared to now.

His back was facing you, and it was _ravaged_. There were jagged and smooth ones; there were burns and dimples. Draco had always been perfection, unflawed, but his body said otherwise. His body said that there were secrets kept here, a past he didn’t speak of.

You didn’t realize you had trailed forward until you were millimeters from the mess. They didn’t make him ugly, but rather, more full of depth. Of character. Your hand subconsciously reached to touch one, and the next thing you knew, the breath had been knocked out of you, laying on your back with Draco on top.

He could crush your windpipe, or snap your bones, or break your neck. You were under his control, and he could kill you a thousand different ways. But as alertness returned to him, he jumped off, grabbing his shirt and throwing it on immediately.

“What the fuck are you doing?” he seethed. He was angry and...scared.

“Where are those scars from?” you questioned, ignoring him.

He looked like he was shaking. “Where do you fucking think?” He was furious, completely and totally.

You stared at him for a moment, and he began to calm. And then that moment turned into a minute, then ten minutes, then thirty, and now the two of you were sitting at the ground, staring at each other, averting your gaze, and then returning.

Finally, you mumbled, “We’re going into battle tomorrow.”

“I know,” he replied, oddly grim.

“How did you know?”

Draco’s smile only lifted one corner of his mouth. It answered the question for you. “Don’t die,” he whispered, more vulnerable than you’d ever heard him.

“I’ll try.” There was the taste of irony in the air, but you were too anxious to find the source. You really hated fighting. “Are you going to leave?”

He hummed, “I’m not sure. Guess we’ll find out tomorrow.” Draco still had the ability to leave and not return, to secure his freedom, or maybe fight your side anyway.

You nodded. Then swallowed. “If I make it out—if _we_ make it out—can I leave with you? Will you have me?”

Draco stared. He didn’t have an answer, and opted for, “Guess we’ll find out tomorrow.” A repeat. He would never be one to give himself, to bow down. He had already tried that and failed.

“Tomorrow,” you repeated back, then stood up, stretching your legs. Draco had started walking you to the door after your visits, a semblance of control in his new home.

But before you could leave, he grabbed your wrist, and you spun. Your eyes widened, then closed, as his mouth brushed yours. It was quick, short, promising. 

_Tomorrow_ , the kiss said.

You had made it out. Surprisingly.

Neville had killed Nagini, just like he had planned since the Battle. Ron and Hermione had delivered the death blow, and Voldemort didn’t have a single chance at surviving. Not this time.

You walked from it numbly, clothing soaked with your blood mixed with a million others, but that wasn’t what was important. You needed to see him. To see if he stayed.

Your pace was slow as you walked toward Draco’s cell. More fear than you had in battle filling you, because you wanted to see if the devil had walked from his punishment. He had been put down, wings clipped, left only to the dead and the destruction.

He wouldn’t stay. He was smarter, more self-preservative.

 _But what if_ , your heart wanted to say.

And your hand shook as it pushed open the cell door, too scared to look. You clenched your eyes shut, considered praying, then thought better of it. You wouldn’t pray for the ultimate sinner, that was just unnatural.

“You’re alive.”

The voice blew your eyes wide. Because he had stayed and waited and probably risked his life in that voluntary prison. “You stayed,” was all you could get out.

Your feet carried you in front of him, and your fingers moved to ghost across his face, ensuring he was _real_. Draco didn’t mind the blood that got smeared on his skin, nor the bloody handprint as you cupped his cheek.

Then, he kneeled, and you suddenly understood. He had been cast down before, thrown out and neglected, and he didn’t want to bow for anyone ever again. It went against everything. Yet here he was, on his knees for you and you only.

“You have been my destruction,” he said, “and if the world goes to hell because of it, then we will become its rulers.”

You nodded, meeting his eyes. He stared at you as if you were not just his downfall, but also his salvation. And then you spoke, a hint of teasing in your tone.

“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning.”
